K-dramas often bring us stories that dive deep into two different worlds. Now, these two worlds do not always mean literally.
Sometimes, the stark difference between two timelines and even two places, or the choices the characters make, leads them to two completely different situations, which also depict the scenario of two different worlds.
There are K-dramas where characters travel back in time or cross the boundaries of fiction. The complex narratives of these K-dramas are truly intriguing.
There is a special place in the hearts of the viewers for K-dramas with multiple timelines, alternate realities, and similar aspects. So, let’s dive right in.

She also does not tolerate wrongdoings. This drama gives us the story of how the two worlds of these two people collide. During an incident, Lee Gon found the identity card of Tae-eul. He kept it and understood that she was involved in the assassination of his father.

5) A Time Called You
One of the most intriguing factors about K-dramas that have time travel is how we get to enjoy not just one world but two different worlds of two different timelines. The two timelines truly bring out the essence of two different worlds.
